1991 Toyota Hilux RV 19ft

2.8 litre 3L Diesel engine with 5 speed Manual transmission. 50,579 original miles (speedometer is in km) 4x4 with a stock solid front axle, locking hubs, 4 wheel low and high. This vehicle is not custom, it was built like this in Japan in 1991 by Global. Right hand drive. Solid fiberglass one piece construction This is a very rare and sought after overlanding vehicle. There is only a few in the us, and I've only accounted for a dozen around the world. It does great in the snow, sand, and going up the passes. Very reliable and capable vehicle.

There is a couch and dinette seating below that turns into a queen size bed as well as a double bed above the cab. The upper cab portion also has a pop top with marine canvas, but there is plenty of room to sleep while it is down. The kitchen is located in the rear, the counter folds up to stow away your cooktop, and includes a sink and AC / DC / propane refrigerator. The shower is located in the rear left corner. There is also plenty of cabinet space and a rear closet. Diesel wabasto heater for rear heat. Awning on left side.



Showings available on weekends only at this time.

I'm quite confused on the asking price of $50,000.. I can import these from Japan or AUS for $19,000USD Shipped to the Port of Tacoma in WA state.

There may not be many in the states, i know of 8- some guy in Moclips, WA has 3 of them parked in front of his home along with a bunch of Delicas, and Euro Vans. The member Yotarhome bought an identical one for $25,000- and did an awesome job of modifying it, he also allows you to rent it in tacoma. Plus this one looks like the pop top gasket is leaky as there are water marks on the ceiling.

Being new to this site and not knowing the import business. Care to share your method?

I have contacts/friends in Europe and Australia that will purchase vehicle for me (I obviously pay them first) then we put them in containers or just drive on- and boom 15 to 30 days later you have a new rig. Shipping is usually $1,800, Insurance is $400, then tacoma port fees are usually $450
